April 29, 5th year of the federal calendar

In order to make the coordinated operation more efficient, and not to interfere with each other in the melee, the fifteen of us were temporarily divided into three teams of five. Among them, Yi Qi, Bai Shao, Yu Yin, Yuan Ya and Xiao Fu are the first squad, and Yi Qi is the captain; Shengyan, Fengxing, Hanekawa, Kuiqu and I are the second team, with Shengyan as the captain; Jian Jia, Yan Yi, Hustian, Dianxing, and Ying Ge are the third squad, with Jian Jia as the captain.

It can be seen that this kind of distribution is also particularly well-intentioned. Let's talk about the first squad first, the ruler is the most prominent powerhouse in our group, and he is naturally the safest to protect people like Yuan Ya and Xiao Fu who are good at long-range attacks. The second team is very special, and a little observation will show that there are all four people with clan names gathered here, and there is even a princess, and only Shengyan, who is strong and not low-status, is the most suitable to lead. The third squad brought two thorns, whether it was a huss shirt or a star, they were both talented and arrogant young people. Jian Jia is an old senior in the kingdom army, and with the assistance of a courtesian Yanyi, he can better control the two of them.

Last night, we were warmly and meticulously received by Yue Wei in the palace. This was not a very formal banquet for the king, everyone just chatted casually, getting to know each other, and laying the foundation for the future cooperation. Aside from the rest, we at least remembered each other's names and looks, a field of combat that each was good at.

During the banquet, I noticed that Hanekawa's kid seemed to have some extraordinary relationship with Feng Xing, but I didn't expect that the usually smug little guy would also become a little cowardly at such a time. The princess's attitude is a little subtle.,Although she talks and laughs freely with Hanekawa.,But the atmosphere seems to be a little wrong.。。

The feast did not last long, and we rested for the night in the sumptuous bedrooms of the palace, and gathered at the gates of the city at the beginning of the day. The king has already ordered the men to prepare supplies and good horses for us to use as we go north.

This improvised elite team had already received its first mission last night, to pick up the Duke of Shanjun, who had retreated south. According to the latest information, the Duke's rout retreated south in three groups, and the progress was very smooth at first, until the army behind the palace was attacked by a monster, which caused their march to slow down considerably, and there were many casualties. It is said that they have been attacked twice in a row, and if they continue like this, not only will there be a large number of deserters, but there is even the possibility of being caught up by the follow-up monster troops.

At that time, all that awaits them is total annihilation.

……

The fifteen-man team galloped in three columns on the deserted official road, the muscles of the horse's strong legs rising and falling, and the iron hooves trampling the ground, stirring up a rhythm like a war drum.

Du Qi was in the middle of the team, dressed in a full set of pitch-black battle armor, which was really imposing. Obviously, he has put together the entire set of the Black Realm Reaper during this time, and the new kits are Shield-Fear, Armor-pawn, and Weapon and King, which are described below.

"Black Domain Reaper-Fear: Defense Lv1, Resistance Lv1, Skill: None. There was once such a group of people in the Black Realm, who took a place in this prison and made their own laws. It is said that there was a leader in the crowd, and even the jailers who did not know what fear was, had to pay three respects to him. ”

"Black Domain Reaper-Pawn: Blood Lv1, Berserk Lv1, Defense Lv1, Skill: None. Brass was attacked by the jailers, and in the moment of danger, a team of warriors who looked like soldiers rescued him. Those people were dressed in old clothes, but they swore to Bronze Temples that one day they would kill the Black Realm and bring this rotten land back to life. ”

"Black Realm Death-King: Strength lv2, Stamina lv1, Skill: None. Bronze Manepers met the true king in this prison place, and he painstakingly crafted a long sword from the jailer and dedicated it to the hero. ”

After nearly a day of traveling, Du Qi and the others finally saw the last army of the palace at night after crossing the two troops that withdrew south.

The team was indeed miserable, most of the fighters were embarrassed and tired, most of them had dark circles around their eyes, and more than half of the fighters had minor or severe injuries. What's worse is that their armor and weapons are very tattered, and they have obviously experienced many fierce battles.

It is conceivable that even if this army reaches Shiguan City safely, it will take a long time to correct, and it will not be able to become the force of the subsequent battle against the monster army.

In the middle of the camp, the Doge met the leader of the team, a lieutenant colonel named Huixin. His voice was hoarse, and in a slightly frightened tone, he gave the group a detailed account of what had happened so far.

That monster army appeared so suddenly that even the Duke of the Mountain Monarch had no time to find out where they came from, and he had already broken through several cities in the north. The monster army first appeared in the three northern regions, and gradually converged in the process of moving south, until it became an irresistible army when it attacked Qiushan City, where the Duke of Mountain King was located. After that, the monster's forces split into four for some reason, one to the southwest, one to the southeast, and the other two to chase after the rout.

Two days earlier, a monster that the sergeants had never seen before appeared and attacked the troops behind the Temple. According to Painting's description, it was a giant monster with a body of six meters long, and since the attacks always took place at night, no one could see their appearance in a panic, only that the monster always jumped out of the ground and attacked, devouring several warriors, and then immediately burrowed into the ground. Their speed was so fast that ordinary sergeants were powerless to resist in front of them.

This is extremely bad news. Imagine that in the midst of a fierce battle to defend the city, a group of monsters suddenly enter the city from the ground, and the chaos caused by that will be almost impossible to quell. The crowd quickly concluded that the matter had to be investigated before the war began.

Due to the lack of information at the moment, the three captains decided to spend the first half of the night in the camp after a brief discussion, and if the monster attacked again, it would naturally be the best. If not, they will leave one squad to temporarily retreat south with the troops, and the other two will follow a few fighters leading the way to the site of the previous attack to investigate the situation.

Considering that Jian Jia and Huss are better at leading the army, this heavy responsibility finally falls on Shengyan and the team.

So, they ate a few things and took a break in different parts of the camp. In the second half of the night, the monster still did not attack, so Du Qi and the others got on their horses and continued to march to the north overnight, while Jian Jia and the others stayed in the barracks, ready to pull out and continue the march.

The tired and continuously harassed force marched slowly, and at dawn, Du Qi and the others arrived at the place where the troops had been attacked yesterday.
